House Plans From the Past

A puzzled visitor to our discussion forum asks, "Where can I find home plans from the past? I want a house plan that has all the old style with walls and halls, not an open floor plan."

Here's help:

• About Historic House Designs
• Victorian Plan Books
• Bunglalow Floor Plans

Many houses across the United States were built in the mid-twentieth century. Here are plans from that time period:

• Minimal Traditional House Plans for 1940s-1950s America
• Neocolonial Homes for 1950s-1960s America
• Ranch House Plans for 1950s America
• Cape Cod House Plans for 1950s America

Do you live in an old house? Submit a photo to our Old House Gallery, and see old houses submitted by our readers.
